Brother (triple j Like A Version)

Callin' out your lover, been callin' out his name He's been hidin', he's been hidin', there's only him to blame Been callin' out to love her, couldn't tell it to your face He's been lyin', he's been lyin', too fucked up by the pain Once upon a time, you met him on a summer's night Stomach full of butterflies, dressed in your best jeans By the end of the next week You would've hit it up a hundred times, sex in them bedsheets Now you're singin' lullabies and you're blessed with a little girl And in your eyes she's beautiful, true to form, she rules your world Don't ever say it wasn't worth it But you've been seein' him for five years And you can see it in his eyes, yeah And I can tell you've thought about it Give me an idea from the stories that I hear Of course, you doubt him, you mourn the sound when He says he isn't headed home You can hear that fake voice break through the telephone His alibis don't hide his life on the side Try to have faith, but you never know Break down Pull yourself out of this state, dear Acknowledge he was a fake, dear From there on you might just grow Throw it all away Callin' out your lover, been callin' out his name He's been hidin', he's been hidin', there's only him to blame Callin' out to love her, couldn't tell it to your face He's been lyin', he's been lyin', too fucked up by the pain When did it all turn sour? Safe to say that now he's underneath your skin While you cower in the corner with no power left within But you're his lover, even though you know he never loved you You suffer just bein' his insignificant other Lipstick that's smeared across his collar His best kept secret that's hidden under covers, confide in your mother Nursin' a broken heart Alone in the dark clutchin' at his photograph When it comes to emotions, you close 'em shut 'Cause he might just leave if you open up And it hurts so bad, think you're gonna go mad Contemplatin' the things that you don't have And you feel so sad When he leaves that you reach for the Prozac, yeah And now he's standin' at your gate, and he be actin' strange It's sad to say but girl, you have to face it Pack them bags that you've had stashed away It's a tragic way to end it but if he can't even pay attention And if he can't even make the effort, it's way too late to save It's a cold world, no man's safe from You got soul, girl, don't let no man take none Been callin' out your lover, been callin' out his name He's been hidin', he's been hidin', there's only him to blame Been callin' out to love her, couldn't tell it to your face He's been lyin', he's been lyin', too fucked up by the pain Oh, oh, oh, oh Too fucked up by the pain Oh, oh, oh, oh Too fucked up by the pain Oh, oh, oh, oh Too fucked up by the pain Oh, oh, oh, oh
